(Really short AN) Just want to thank you all for the reviews and adding this story to your favourites. It really means a lot. Also thank you for taking part in the poll, there is a new one up and I would REALLY love you all to answer it so I can plan ahead :)

DISCLAIMER: I don't know why I bother with this disclaimer because if I owned it I would write a sequel series from the Reckoning and it would be Chlerek till the end.

You wanted more so here it is.

Derek's POV:

I was sitting on my bed staring at the wall. There are a lot of cracks going through it length ways and it makes me think of mine and Chloe's relationship, if we can even call it that. The wolf inside of me whines at the thought, she is our mate. Like that crack; our relationship is going up and down but is still damaging no matter which way it goes. I was in such deep thought that I didn't even notice a pillow was flying my way until it hit me. I looked over at the direction it came and I saw Simon standing there looking grim. I could smell the sweat of nervousness radiating from him. He was hiding something.

"Derek we need to talk about Chloe and-" Simon started but I cut him off. "There is no need to Simon. She doesn't want me and it's all because of that stupid kiss with Lily. I didn't mean it I was in shock for crying out loud. I never kissed her back, I wouldn't do that." I huffed frustrated with myself. Simon raised an eyebrow at me as if to say, 'you done?'

"Bro we need to talk about this because you only know half of what is going on." Simon sat down on his bed and ran his hand through his hair. "What are you talking about?" I was genuinely confused now. "Bro it's about Lily. She is not the same Lily from all those years ago, she is a crazy bitch." Simon frowned at her name.

"Don't you dare say that about Lily, I know who she is Simon!" I snapped not liking what he was getting at and what he called her. Simon stood up and opened the door; he looked down the corridor both ways as if to check there was no one there. He slammed it shut and stormed over to his bed again.

"Listen to me bro. Your 'oh so nice friend' just threated Chloe and you are going to defend Lily?" Simon spat. I froze in place and stared at Simon. "Did you also know that your 'friend' killed her first boyfriend because he tried to let the relationship they had go? This afternoon she went into Chloe's room and threatened to get rid of her if she became between you and her. I heard it all Derek and I know what I heard." Simon finished.

I stood up so fast and went for the door; I am going to kill her for threatening my mate. Simon jumped up and got between me and the door. "Move Simon while I go and kill her!" I spat venomously. "Not until we talk about this and you then have my permission to kill her freely."

"Simon no offense but I do not need you permission." I said. He pushed me as if directing me back towards my bed, I obliged and sat down. My leg shook up and down with frustration and I ran my hands through my hair vigorously trying to make sense of what I feel and what was going on.

"Dude, she is a crazy chick but the best thing we can do for everyone's safety and mainly Chloe's is to play the game that psycho has already started. We need to create our own plan because we need to be able to outsmart this crazy bitch." Simon said. "The girls know they have to take caution with her."

"Simon. I don't believe you." I stated after two minutes of silence. "What?" Simon sounded appalled. "Lily? Lily has been nothing but nice and I would have noticed if something was going on!" Simon glared at me, "You are blinded by the image of Lily when you were both young but that Lily is gone Derek! You need to get a grip on the situation because you are letting her push Chloe away. You don't even care for Chloe because you wouldn't be doing this." Simon snapped.

I looked at him. Was he truly right? Was Lily really all the things he said? I should ask her myself. She will tell me the truth, or will she? I don't know what to think, this is my childhood friend and I cannot picture her being a crazy bitch. But why would my brother lie? To gain Chloe? No I am just being foolish.

I say to Simon that I need to sleep on this and he just looks at me with disgust. "Nice to know you have given up on the only outside person who stuck by you through everything. Thought you weren't like that but I guess I was wrong." Simon said.

"I-I-I just need to think on this. I am sorry about saying I don't believe you but it's hard to imagine Lily being like that." Simon nodded slowly as if understanding. "Okay then, night bro. But Derek watch your back with her, you might be a werewolf but your lack of belief to who she really is might just get you killed."

Simon got undressed to his boxers and got into his bed. I got up and turned the lights out, got undressed and went to my own bed. I didn't think I would be able to sleep much tonight as all I could focus on was Chloe's even breathing through the walls.

Chloe's POV:

I went to bed that night worrying about whether Lily would actually do something drastic and if she did could I defend myself? Would my powers be any help in all honesty? I mean she is a necromancer too so won't she have an advantage to? I dreamt of Aiden and his attempt to escape, well what I can imagine it to be like. I could imagine said boy to be walking away from the house thinking that he had finally escaped Lily and her demented mind; he not knowing that she was not far behind with a knife seeking revenge on his 'selfish act'.

I could imagine the heated argument and how Lily would be all hysterical in which her crazy act gave him a distraction from the knife that was jabbed through his side. I could imagine her being so quick with the knife that poor Aiden would never have stood a chance. I felt the strong urge in my dream to pull Aiden away from her, to take him away from someone so unstable.I pulled with my mind in my dream until I was awoken with a shrill scream that cause me to jolt awake.I looked around in confusion and seen Tori backing far into the corner as if to get away from something.

I looked towards the door. What a mistake, I sat up in my bed and saw a corpse making it's way to me making moaning noises. I saw Derek standing at the door looking at it briefly then looking at me and he went into his typical Derek action. He stood over the corpse, made his way to me and gathered me in his arms. He was whispering that it was alright and that I have to send it back.

This brought back one of the many reasons I loved Derek so much. I clung to him tightly and whispered over and over how scared I was and how sorry I am. Little did he know that those had double meanings. I was sorry for raising a corpse and it was scary but I was also sorry for the situation between us and how scared I am of how it has been lately with Lily.

"It's okay Chloe, I have you. Just send it back and take deep breathes. I won't let it hurt you Chlo." He said this with such meaning it calmed me down quickly in which it gave me the courage to send the spirit back out of it body.

I heard the body fall to the ground in a clatter and a thud. Derek kept hold of me and whispered how great I was at handling it and how he was so proud of how I have learned to control my powers. I heard muttering and sobs and this made me turn around to see everyone at the door.

I clung to Derek tighter whilst analysing every bodies faces. Most were of disgust and anger expect for Tori,Simon,Kit and my aunt. The other residence looked at me with the anger they felt but Lily had the anger and the tears. I realised then that I must have raises Aidens body.

"HOW COULD YOU!" Lily roared. Tori and Simon didn't know how to act; they, Hayden and Derek just stared at her with no sympathy. They knew the truth.

"T-That's my boyfriend you just shoved back into his corpse. You caused him so much pain and you did it on purpose. Your a freak! Your sick! You should'nt be here!" She sobbed but near the end spat with venom. Emma told everyone to go back to bed whilst she led Lily to a place she could calm down. When everyone left it was just our group who still lingered.

"Chloe? Sweatheart? Are you okay?" Kit said which shocked me. I never knew that he had that comfort in his voice which made me want to cry. He sounded like a dad. A dad I can't have anymore. I nodded my head then rested it on Derek's shoulder. Simon and Kit went back to bed and my Aunt told Tori she could stay with her in which Tori agreeded to. Hayden and Jace came back into the room which made Derek growl.

"Calm down mutt, we were just going to bury the body so no one has to look at it again." Hayden said. Derek stiffly nodded and then both Hayden and Jace took the body and they were gone.

With the door closed and the only light in the room coming from the moonlight through the window, I could just about see Derek's face. He brought his hand up to my face and placed it on my cheeky with hid thumb running the slight tears away. I clung to his again and he gentle rubbed my back in a comforting gesture. I realised that I was staddling his lap and I felt the blush take over my cheeks.

"I am so sorry Derek. I never meant to do it I-I-I- I would never-r." He silenced me with a brief kiss on the lips and then layed us down on our sides. He stroked my cheek with his fingers and I did the same to his cheek with my own. We looked into each others eyes and we found instant comfort.

"Will you stay tonight Derek? I need you here." Chloe whispered boldly. Derek smiled and then whispered back, "I am not going to leave you Chlo. I need you in my arms, to know your safe."

We cuddled that night, forgetting about Lily because we knew it would have to wait till morning. We slipped under the covers and fell asleep in one another's loving embrace.
